Application filed October 3, 1923. Serial No. 666,370.

To all whom it'may concern:

Be it known that I, CAMrLLo VERI, a citizen of Italy (having taken outfirst United States citizenship papers), and a resident of Garfield, inthe county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented a new andImproved Window, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates to Windows and has for an object to provide animproved window construction wherein the usual appearance is presentedwhile at the same time the parts are so formed as to permit-both theupper and lower sashes to be swung in.- wardly when access to theirexterior is desired.

Another-object of the invention is to provide a window structure whereina hinged sash is mounted on sliding sash uprights with means which maybe operated manually for swinging either the upper or lower sashinwardly at a point near the sill of the window.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide a window structure inwhich the glass panes may be readily applied or removed without tools orwithout injury to the sash.

An additional object is to provide a window structure wherein the windowsashes are held in place by removable-strips associated with anaperturefilling block whereby access may be secured to the inner surfaceof the window frame on each side.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of part of awall with the window disclosing an embodiment of the invention appliedthereto.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view through Figure 1,approximately on line 22, the same being somewhat on an enlarged scale.

Figure 3 is a front View with-certain parts broken away of the windowshown in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view through Figure 3, approximatelyon line H. e

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numeral, 1 indicates a wallof'any desired kind into which is fitted a window frame 3 adapted tocarry the sashes 4 and 5.. The frame 3 is made in the usualmanner exceptfor the provision of strips 6 and 7 held in place by suitable screws orother removable fastening means 8. Each of the strips 6 covers aremovable block 9 which fills anopening in part of the frame 3and whenthe strips are removed and the blocks 9 removed, access may be had tothe inte nor of the frame 1 so as to adjust the weights or for any otherdesired purpose.

The frame 3 is also provided with a special top plate 10 held in placeby a. hinge structure 11 of any desired kind. The plate 10 is in linewith the sash 5 so that when said sash is raised to its highest point itwill move the plate 10 back to the dotted position shown in Figure 2. Itwill be noted dependent sliding bars 12 and 13 of identical Iconstruction. The sliding bar 13 is 'connected to the swinging section 5of the sash by suitable hinges 14 while the sliding bar 12 is connectedto the swinging section 5 through a spring pressed bolt 15. The slidingbar 12 is provided with a plate 16 hinged at 17, said plate being.provided with spurs or lugs 18 and 19, spur 18 being normally positionedas shdwn in Figure 3.

When it is desired to swing the sash section 5 outwardly as shown inFigure 1, the sash is moved upwardly to the dotted position shown inFigure 3 and the'plate 16 swung over until the spur or lug 19 projectsinto the aperture or depression 20 in the frame 3. The belt 15 is thenretracted and the section 5 swung to an open position. It is desirabletouse the late 16 as just described in order to hol the sliding bar. 12in a lowered position.

It will be noted that the sash cord 21 has one end secured to thesliding bar 12, said cord passing over a suitable pulley 22 and vcarrying any suitable weight. If the sliding bar was not anchored asjust described, the weight would immediately raise the same. to an.upward position. When the section 5' is in the position shown in thatthe same is placed in position through a slot 247formed in the upper endof the section 5, said section 5 having the vertical bars slotted insuch a manner as to merge into the slot 24 so that the edges of the pane23 will project into the side bars 7 of the section 5 while the bottomedge Wlll project into a suitable groove in the operate on the outerface of the upper sash 4:, sash 5 is moved to a closed position and thebolt allowed to snap into the rapper-- ture 15 whereupon the section islocked to the sliding bar. 12. The plate 16 is then swung back to thefull line position shown in Figure 3 and the entire sash raised until itassumes the dotted position shown in Figure 2-. The upper sash is thenlowered until the lower end is slightly above the window sill 25. Theplate 16' carried by the sliding bar 12' is then shifted until the pinor spur 19 engages the aperture 20' in-the window frame 3; This willlock the sliding ban 12' in position so that the bolt 15" may beretracted and the section 4:

connected to the sliding bar 13'. lit will be noted that the section 4!of the upper sash swings inwardly at substantially the same point assection 5 so that access may be readily had to the outer surface thereoffrom the interior of a room and without reaching upwardly as the uppersash is in a lowered position. After the section 4' has been moved backto its former position with the-bolt 15 engaging an-aperture in thesliding bar 12', plate 16' may be re leased and moved back to theposition shown in Figure 3 with the spur or pin 18' projecting into asuitable aperture in the section 4:.

lllfhen the parts are properly connected swung on it hinges 26, whichhinges are together as just described, the respective sashes may beraised and lowered in the usual manner and will present the usualappearance of an ordinary window. The thumb members connected with therespec tive bolts 15 and 15" and the hinges 1d and 26 may, of course, beseen, but these are comparatively small and, therefore, notobjectionable.

What I claim is lln a window structure, a window frame havinga pair ofslide-ways and an aperture substantially midway of the window frameextending into one of said slide-ways, a sash comprising a pair ofsliding bars fittin into said slide-ways, said sa'sh being formed with apane receiving sashframe, hinge members for hingedly connecting saidsash frame with one of said sliding bars, means acting as a catch fordisengageably locking the other of said sliding bars to the oppositeedge of said sash frame, a plate hingedly connected to the top of saidlast mentioned sliding {bar and normally overlapping the upper end ofsaid sash frame, said plate having oppositely extending pins, one ofsaid pins normally extending into said sash frame and the other intosaid aperture in Gil said window frame when the plateis swung away fromthe sash frame whereby a second catch is provided for the last mentionedbar for preventing independent upward movement thereof whereby saidcatch may be moved to a disengaged position and said sash frame swung onits hinges without permitting the sliding bar to move upwardly.
